My peppermint oil arrived very crystalized. Only part of it is liquid. Is this normal?

I have had mine for months and it has not crystallized. I do not think this is normal and it should be returned.

I have a similar problem with the Plant Therapy Cinnamon essential oil. It arrived fine, but after about 2 months in room temperature it is starting to crystallize. In over 20 years of heavy essential usage, I've never seen this.

Mine arrived without any crystallization and I have ordered more than one time and have never seen this. It never crystallized in the bathroom cupboard over time either. I wonder if you can write to the company to see if they know what the scoop is on this condition? Maybe some things might partially crystallize when subjected to temperature extremes, like possibly in transit. I'm sorry to hear that yours arrived that way and I hope you can get the mystery solved.

This is most likely a result of the oil being exposed to cool conditions...probably the best thing to do is leave it in a warmer place for a while and shake the bottle up every now and then. If that doesn't work, try looking it up online to figure out any other natural ways to de-crystallize it.

Yes the oil is supposed to be solid. I put contents of pck (oil, kernals, salt) in a small pitcher - nuke in microwave about 25 seconds, stir & pour in popper.

I would suggest an e-mail directly to the company. The woman who runs the company is very proud of her product and service. Consequently, I'm sure she will give you all of he help she can. I have used one bottle over about 2 months and it has been just fine--but I've also followed their instructions and have kept the oil in a cool spot in the house--Not hard in Mt!. I've been extremely satisfied with the product, both in terms of quality and price and in fact have recently ordered 2 more bottles.

Hello I'm really unsure some peppermint oils are food grade which mean it used to flavor foods,tea's ect. If you are using your oil for your hair then make sure you use 100% oil not food grade! But if ingesting it I would use food grade because its suppose to be edible as the 100% is suppose to be to strong I hoped this helped!

Mine is definitely all liquid and generally a thin liquid oil, golden yellow. Nothing solid at all.

Just like coconut oil, it will be solid at normal room temperature. As it states on the package, you can add warm water to dissolve it. I just break off chunks of it and then add it to a recipe if it is being heated. Make sure to keep it refrigerated after you open the package, which makes it even harder. I agree, I was a bit disappointed that it wasn't liquid as I expected it to be more like coconut water.

Most definitely peppermint oil but I would buy Now's version unless you're using, say, a funnel because the bottle truly pours very very poorly and you know unless you've just got money to throw away (in which case I suggest taping it all to a tree as that would be way more amusing as you could say, "Hey, here's a money tree"), don't buy it.

Hi.it is pure, but to my surprise I had much better results with black seed oil in capsuls. The same company. I could not explain it. My best wishes. N.

Yes, it's just peppermint oil. Just dilute with another oil, like safflower so it won't be too strong. When you get a good natural peppermint flavor, that's what it is: peppermint essential oil diluted in a carrier oil.

No, mine came fine and new (sealed). You should send it back for exchange or refund. don't wait!I like this oil, the taste is not as strong as say extra virgin coconut oil.

Geez, guys. Just tell him it's a glass bottle. ALL of Carlson's liquid fish oils are in glass bottles for freshness and so any plastic taste or chems don't leach into the oil. Nordic Naturals puts theirs in dark glass as well. Hope that helps!

sometimes the oils can harden in small bits, but if you rub it for a few seconds it should become like pure oil. If not, return it.

I have no crystals in mine. Get in touch with the Company and find out if this is normal.

Are you shaking the bottle beforehand? Other than that, sounds normal to me. It has a very runny consistency.

That is a good question and I am afraid I cannot answer. What I can provide is the oil seems to be as wonderful in terms of quality. I store in a dark cabinet if that helps.

Yes, It only takes a small amount, mixed with witch hazel. Peppermint oil added is also nice

Tea tree oil, one of the main ingredients in Miracle oil, has a musty, minty smell. It is normal. :)
